How do I manually create an invoice for my 3PL client?

Here is a guide for 3PL Providers on how to create invoices/client bills manually for various 3PL services.

Note: This guide is for 3PL providers (as opposed to operators who use a 3PL solution).

💡 Overview

DigitBridge offers automated and manual invoicing for 3PL providers to bill their clients for:

  • Order processing fees (inbound, outbound, returns)

  • Daily storage charges based on inventory levels and aging

Invoices are client-specific and calculated using the 3PL Price Chart setup in ERP.


🧾 Types of Invoices for 3PL Clients

Type of Invoice Trigger Event Description
Ship by 3PL Shipment created from sales order Includes outbound processing charges based on items or packages shipped
Receive by 3PL Goods received into warehouse from P/O Captures inbound receiving charges per SKU or package
Return by 3PL Product return processed Applies restocking or return processing charges
Storage Invoice Daily/periodic storage calculation Based on SKU or package aging ranges and warehouse space occupied

All of these invoices are visible to your client in the 3PL Client Portal.

✍️ How to Manually Create an Invoice for a 3PL Client

In some cases (e.g. missing triggers, special one-off charges), you may want to manually generate an invoice:

  • Go to ERP > Outbound > Invoice Management

  • Click on the desired 3PL Invoice type.

  • Click Add.

  • Enter:
    • Customer #

    • Date

    • Any other relevant fields

  • In the List tab, add SKUs or services

  • Click Save

  • Click Yes

The invoice will now appear in both ERP and the Client Portal for your 3PL customer


🛠️ Troubleshooting & Tips

  • Missing invoice?
    Check that:

    • The 3PL Price Chart has been set up and applied

    • The correct customer code was used on the order

    • The warehouse is flagged as a 3PL warehouse

  • Duplicate invoices?
    Ensure you haven't manually created an invoice for an action that already triggered an automatic one.
